Pledge Signed by the Citizens.

A Peaceful Version of the Situation
Pledge Signed by the Citizens.
LOUISVILLE June 3O.-A special from
MOrehead, Ky, states that there appears
to be no foundation whatever for the rumor
that the Tollivers are organizing, and the
people of Rowan county feel confident that
their long war is over and that an era of
peace and happiness has at last dawned
upon the unfortunate section.
This beliefs founded upon the OutpOur-
ing of citizens at the meeting yesterday,
called to organize a protective association
for the uphOlding of the law.
An article was then drawn up, in which
every signer pledged himself with his life,
to protect the life and property of the citi-
zens of Morehead and of Rowan county.
This was signed by all of the five hundred
Red Men present. Among the formal
resolutions adopted We're the following:
'We hereby pledge to ourselves and to
thepeOple ofKeutucky that we will obey the
law, and we are determined to require OBJ
servance of it in others. We are tired of
bloOdshed and we are determined to have
dominion Of law, rather than longer
reign OF violence.
We agree TO act as posse cOmitatus
whenever summoned by the Sheriff to eX-
ecute the process of any court, and when
warrants OF arrest are placed in our hands,
We agree to bring the parties accused to the
courts, alive ii possible" dead if necessary.
1--WE deplore violence in all It's forms,
but we are determined that lawless men
shall not longer terrori&s Rowan county,
but we will in the 5trict Interpretation of
the law make terror to wrongdoers from
whatever source they may come.
I'VE will guarantee to every person ac-
cused of crime, and brought to Rowan
county to be tried, a fair trial and prolcc-
tiOn from violence We respectfully ask
all good citizens of Rowan county, of all
shades Of opinion, to sign these reSolu-
tinpq -

THE TOLLIVER TERROR.
The Citizens of Morehead Determined to
Uphold the Law.


Uphold the Law.
MOREHEAD, KY, June 3O-Thirty arm
ed citizens, summoned by the sheriff, are
patrolling the town.
Wiley and Cal Toliver boarded the early
train at Catlettsbnrg yesterday but got off
at Olive Hill, near the county line. The
Tolliver men have been coming in force on
all trains. No fewer than three hundred
are here today, and it is believed that there
will be trouble.
In an attempt to interview D. Z. Logan
last night, q correspondent was stopped by
several armed men, who surrounded the
Logan residence. After some difficulty Mr..
Logan was aroused and he acknowledged
that the entire town was surrounded.
Every one in MOrehead apparently belongs
to the Martin faction at present.
Five hundred citizens, in mass meeting
here yesterday afternoon, adopted resolu-
lions and formed themselves into prOtec-
tive association te resist any further at
tacks by the TOlhver faction. 4 few TOlli-
Yer men were present but were very quiet.
The meeting was addressed By the leader
of the sherit17s posse OF last Wednesday
and several others.
IL is denied by the Tolliver men that
they are organizing for tight,

ACoPYRIaHT ARGUMENT.

Clever Japanese Turning Out Reprints of
American school Eooks.
WASHINGTON June 3O-An illustration
OF the cleverneSs and initiative power of
the japanese, which might also serve to
point an argument in the discussion of the
International Copyright question, is af-
Gorded by csTtqin japanese publications
which have been exhibited to prominent
officers Of the State Department.
Ii appears that when the study Of Eng
lish was made compulsory in Japan, a
number OF American school books were i'm
ported aud b. formal order made the text
book OF tine native schools American
bookrnakers had quite a lucrative trade iOr
a time. But the japanese soon turned
their attention to the subject, and after q
frw experiments began turning out clever
reprints Of the American publications of
such excellence and in such quantities that
the demand ior the American product has
now practically ceased.
The only inferiority of the japanese
books noticeable st the casual eXamina-
tion is in the illustrations, and this is aC-
counted for by the fact that the native
engravers have not vet discovered the art
of cutting their pictures on the grain end
Ofthe block, but uniformly engraved on the
on the side, which results IN slightly
blurred picture.

into the management of Wards Island Lu-
matte Asylum was continued this morning.
Mr. Lee Phillips, secretary OF the City Civil
Service Board, testified to the low charac-
ter of the applicants for positions in the
asylum. He testified that many were hard
drinkers. A number of witnesses we're
called who testified to brutal treatment on
the part Of the keepers; according to them,
the patients were only allowed SIX seconds
in which 70 take bath. and as many as
ten were bathing in tn same wate-. One
witness testified to the manner ia which
a patient named Peter Smith, was treated.
Smith had a very loud voice, and would
scream for some minutes, when kicked IT
was the habit of the keepers to entertain
their friends by kicking Smith and making
him yell. Another man was kicked until
he was unconscious, he4ause he told his
sister he had been treated badly. 4 Wit
ness named LObel testified, he had seen one
or two cases OF violence in ward -. The
attendant lifted the man up in the air four
times and let him fall four feet; the man
was taken to the hospital and since died.
Ritchie and McBolen were the attendants.
Lappenstein was the name OF the patient.
This exercise was called the heath lift. y

His Appetite Lost-PrecautiOns BY the
Prison oficials.
NEW YORK, June 3O.-Jaeob Sharp sat
in a large easy chair in the warden's office
of Ludlow street JAIL this morning.
He appeared to be in deep thought. He
locked paler than yesterday, but quiet
nevertheless. Mrs. Sharp sat near him.
Occasionally he would look at his wife
pleadingly. !lgy
The apartments assigned to Sharp consist
of the warden's parlor on the ground floor.
It has large window, and, although bar
bound, admits all the breeze that is going.
Delicate lace curtains draped over heavy
shade which softens the bright glare of
light.
When Sharp reached the Jail last night
he went at once to his room, where he was
soon iolned by mis- wife. Meanwhile the
warden set about making things comfort
able for his guest until July l3. AT 1880
O'Clock the guest retired for the night.
He moaned and tossed about restlessly all
night. He was up at 7;30 O'Clock this

milk and two pancakes. The repast was
not disposed OF as though he relished it.
Mrs Sharp did not close her eyes dur
ing the long, weary night and looked sick
and fatigued this morning. She does all
she can to keep her grief concealed from
her husband, who speaks but little TO
either her or Warden Heating
Every precautiOn WAS taken so as to
doubly secure the safety of the prisoner,
and the warden took the keys of the jail
and placed them under his pillow, so that
nobody could leave or enter the building
without his knowledge. One keeper re-
manned ON duty in the office all night, and
two in the corridors of the Jail, while the
warden occupied the adjoining room to
Sharp, with the door wide open. There
was not more than five feet Of space be-
tween them.
